  1. I've start making the changes to my setup today before play got rained off but i'm having a problem with some elements of the setup, i've got the carrier, caliper and disc and pads on but theres no play in the setup at all. I've wound the caliper piston as far back as it will go; see pics they will explain it better. Discs are EBC standard 280mm calipers are off a 95 vr6, carriers came from same car.
  2. the rears are easy enough, just vr6 discs and is it as simple as 5x100 hubs for the front?
  3. looks top mate and loving the name of the thread!!
  4. fitted new rear disc bearing and pads, smoooooooth rolling no more limping corrado!
  5. Hehe - dunno about that but got it fitted this afternoon and took it for a good blast around the lanes. Slightly deeper tone maybe, not boomy at all and really pleased with it. :D On the advice of CazzaVR took it to our local Longlife to be fitted - they did a really good job I think. Tightish fit over the rear axle but doesn't seem to be a problem - guess the KWs are stiff enough for it not to be an issue?P6291246.JPG[/attachment:1ed7txo9] Hopefully the last one I ever have to fit :) lovelly lovelly shiny shiny exhaust!!!
  6. is that one any off of here? Could we get a close up of the text please :)
  7. i reckon the Girling ones are now since it looks brand new!
  8. i also have differing rear calipers, they both have spring mechs for handbrakes, old one is lucas new one is geitling??
  9. mine does this, my solution is stick your foot onto the drivers side of the bonnet, mount the door and pull the cable, then lift your foot and both sides pop up, you have to bagpipe it before it will open alternatively get someone to hold down the driver side of the bonnet while you pull the cable then have them release pressure as both sides (should) have released
  10. i went to the mima exhibiton and im from nottingham, fuck you clarkson
  11. hi supercharged there was no play in the hose or the union nut, see pic so it's a little twisted, whats the best way to fix it up? so to make it a bit clearer the nut on the end of the brake line doesn't move (is that normal?), the female of the hose doesn't move nor does the male on the caliper end.
  12. rear calipers bog standard corrado ones standard lines, goodridge hose female from the line to male at the caliper, im assumin i put the washer at the female end next to banjo?
  13. dunno mate but do i use the crush washers on front or back :S
  14. Thanks i've done the winding bit already thanks to davidworts guide! Facing another problem here, this is probly real daft but! how do i fit goodridge hoses correctly if i fit the line to hose it goes fine but then when i try to fit it to the caliper the olive doesnt spin so twists the cable, is it a caliper off job and rotate the caliper to get it on??
  15. Hi guys I'm attempting to fit my rear pads tonight do they just sit in the carriers and you attach the caliper (is there no connection keeping the pads connected to the piston etc??) much help appreciated cheers Ian

    that was a mint read!! :thumb right:
  17. my drive, with its arse in the air :(
  18. can you post a pic of one fitted?
  19. was hoping to get the rear brake assembly off but having a fight with the brake line and the brake line nut, is this a 10.5 as 11 gets a grip but spins under a fair bit of pressure! :shrug:
  20. and it just so happens all that is left in the fridge is wafer thin and cathedral city, time to blow the dust off the toastie maker!!
  21. begun the restoration process and replaced p/s disk and bearing, all calipers off bar one or clean down and painting!
